James 3:2-13

One of the overriding emotions of this season has been the feeling of being lost. Not physically lost, becasue we are at home but lost in life. And the problem with feeling lost is that we are more likely to latch onto the things that help us feel in control even when we are not. Jesus today paints a powerful picture of our situation and shows us how we can have hope in the midst of being lost and how we can let him lead us home.

What is our role in the Kingdom of God? In God’s Kingdom, all are welcomed and given a seat at the table. But we don't just have a place, we have a purpose for our lives.
